Ethyl Glucuronide (EtG) is a unique biological metabolite that is formed in the body after the consumption of ethanol, typically from drinking alcoholic beverages. Reported to be detectable in urine typically from 8-80 hours after ingestion, and 2-36 hours in blood EtG is detectable over a period roughly 5-6 times longer than traditional urine ethanol testing Detectable in oral fluid only a few hours longer than ethanol* EtG has also been isolated in hair follicles *G.Heiseth, B. Yttredal, et.al. ; JATox: July 2010
With the EtG Urine Alcohol Test, nevertheless, the presence of EtG in the urine reveals that ethanol alcohol was consumed within the past 80 hours or so (which could mean many hours after the ethanol alcohol has been metabolized by the body). A moment's reflection on what this means will be worthwhile. No, the EtG Urine Alcohol Test cannot show how much alcohol a person ingested, but it can, by way of comparison, detect alcohol consumption after the alcohol has been metabolized by the body.
